Abstract:

 

Enterprise IT and service providers alike are under pressure to deliver on service-level expectations that have been raised for critical applications by the deployment of different Classes of Service (CoS) in their networks. Unfortunately, due to technological constraints inherent in today's network management approaches, network managers lack the network-wide CoS traffic visibility needed to engineer, operate and plan the network to deliver on those expectations. This paper explores how route analytics technology combined with a small footprint of collected Netflow data can provide CoS traffic visibility not only to every link in the network, but to the network-wide context of each link's traffic, enabling network managers to get a handle on CoS delivery.
